DID NOT HAVE THE TWO GASOLINE EXAMPLES IN THE PACKET PRINTED. INFORMATION NOT PRESENT.

Question #3

Our group decided that we wanted to find out if foam changed the burning rate and style of pine wood. To do this we first burnt just wood. Then we burnt wood with our accelerator Zippo lighter fluid. Then we burnt foam on wood with the same accelerator of Zippo lighter fluid. We burnt the wood and then the wood with lighter fluid to give us standards to go by. That is what we used to compare to the burning of wood with foam and lighter fluid. The thought is that with those standards and comparisons we could determine if foam causes wood to burn differently. We burned each sample for one minute and with approx the same amount of lighter fluid. We also conducted Gas Chromatograms of each of these samples to bolster and confirm our results.

Question #4

Our results were that foam does not effect the burning of wood. This came because of our gas chromatograms and how it showed almost the same exact results as wood burning alone with lighter fluid. When comparing the wood with lighter fluid and the wood with foam and lighter fluid there was a noticeable difference then with the wood that was burned with no accelerant in the gas chromatograms. The height of the flame with the wood with lighter fluid on it was a lot higher than the wood with foam and lighter fluid and the wood alone. We extinguished both of the pieces of wood with accelerant involved but the piece without accelerant extinguished itself. With the results of the gas chromatograms our belief is that because of the wood with foam and wood with lighter fluid that foam does not change the burning style of wood.

...Experiment 1: TLC Analysis of Analgesic Drugs
1/23/2011
Purpose: The goal of this experiment is to test our knowledge and understanding of TLC analysis by having us do a TLC analysis of analgesics to figure out their main chemical components.
Calculations:
1.) Rf = Distance spot traveled/ distance solvent traveled
Results:
Table 1: TLC Analysis
Analgesic Drugs | Rf Value |
Acetaminophen | 0.323 |
Aspirin | 0.597 |
Caffeine | 0.081 |
Unknown 154 (Plate 1) | 0.081, 0.306, 0.597 |
Ibuprofen | 0.698 |
Salicyclamide | 0.587 |
Unknown 154 (plate 2) | 0.079, 0.397, 0.587 |
Discussion:
The goal of this experiment was to use TLC Analysis to determine the analgesic drug present in the unknown solution 154. One observation of the unknown spotting solution was that it was cloudy. After forming the unknown spotting solution it was then heated to make it a more saturated solution thus enabling the spots on the TLC plate to contain more of the drug making it easier to compare it with the other drugs. After the TLC plates were developed and visualized first through UV light and then through an Iodine chamber ( though no more spots were visualized with iodine chamber) , Rf values were then taken of each spot on the plate. The Acetaminophen had a value of 0.323, Aspirin had a value of 0.597, Caffeine had a value of 0.081, Unknown 154 on the first plate had 3 different values; 0.081, 0.306, 0.597, Ibuprofen had a...

3. A student wanted 20.000 g of a salt. Which balance should the student use in order to obtain the most accurate quantity: a platform triple beam balance, a single pan, triple beam balance, or a top-loading balance? Explain your answer.
Between those 3 types of balances, the top loading balance would provide the highest level of accuracy. So the student should go with the top-loading one . . as long as the maximum capacity of the balance being used exceeds 20 g. Otherwise, he should use the single pan, triple beam balance, which has a capacity of 311g and provides a higher level of accuracy compared to the platform triple beam balance.
4. Explain the difference between precision and accuracy?
Precision is a determination of the reproducibility of a measurement. It tells how closely several...

...Property: Arson
CJ105/Criminal Law
Arson is one of society’s oldest known crimes and is classified as a property crime to law enforcement agencies. It can cost a life and/or a significant amount of money in damages. It is time consuming and difficult to investigate because the burden of proof that the fire was intentionally started is often hard to substantiate. In this essay, I will discuss the historical common law for arson and the current statue in the state of Florida as well as compare how the elements of the crime have changed over time. Furthermore, I will discuss possible reasons for the changes and also suggest new changes in the statue based on society’s needs today.
As stated before, arson is one of the oldest known crimes throughout the world. During the 18th century, it was defined as “the malicious and willful burning of the house or outhouses of another”. (Samaha, 395). Lord Coke defined arson as the “malicious and voluntary burning of the house of another, by night or day”. (Lectlaw) The 3 elements of the crime were as follows: first, there must be a burning of the house, or some part of it, however small it may be. Second, the house burnt must belong to another individual; however if a man sets fire to his own house with a view to burn his neighbor's, and does so, it is at least a grand misdemeanor, if not a felony. Lastly, the burning must...

...Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone
In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product, tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield benzoin. Thiamine catalyst along with water and ethanol were added to the benzaldehyde, then NaOH was added until the solution turned yellow. After recrystallization, the product was benzoin. Step two was the oxidation of benzoin to benzil. Nitric acid was added to the benzoin and heated, this was followed by recrystallization to yield the benzil. In step three the benzil from step two was to be synthesized tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The benzil and 1,3-diphenylacetone were mixed with ethanol. After heating this, ethanoic KOH was added and the solution was left to reflux. The crystals were washed and collected. This ended the multistep synthesis. The final product was not successfully synthesized due to sources of error during procedures. Therefore, a percent yield was unable to be found. The theoretical melting point for tetraphenylcyclopentadienone 218-220 degrees Celsius.
